    Str8Shooter, that Longines is a magnificent watch. It is a classier version of the very common Rolex Sub Mariner....

    I've been wearing a Chase-Durer Pilot Commander daily for the past 7 years, but my holy grail of watches is the Breitling Navitimer. Not much else comes close in my opinion. Name: 9497.jpg Views: 311 Size: 80.8 KB

    The Navitimer is one of those watches you either love or hate. Years ago when Breitling was in financial do-do they sold the rights to the watch and that is why you have all these copy-cat versions. Personally I find the style a little much and way too busy. it's certainly a very fine watch.

    I agree they are busy on the style front, especially if they have a flight computer bezel. Personally I wouldn't buy a watch for daily wear that didn't have one. Not primarily for the functionality, its really more that "the shoe fits"

    Oh, and if anyone else likes aviation-inspired watches, Bell + Ross make some REALLY cool vintage styled versions with details like square cases, and big, visible counter-sunk screws, and high-contrast faces designed to look like cockpit gauges.

    Agreed! I've got a great Citizen Skyhawk chronometer , atomic watch and charges itself via sunlight, never need a new battery!

    Then I have two nice Seiko's, one a very old Seiko 7T59 1/100 sec Chronograph, and a self-winding Seiko Ventura Direct Drive.

    One day, maybe a nice Tag or Rolex, that is if I ever stop buying razors....

    Check out Sinn, they really specialize in aviation style watches and have a navitimer clone.
